The first chapter in the all-new adventures of MIDNIGHTER joins renowned writer Steve Orlando and acclaimed artists Aco, Stephen Mooney and Alec Morgan.

Between the supercomputer wired into his brain and the enhancements saturating his body, the living weapon known as Midnighter doesn’t face a lot of real challenges to his uncanny combat skills. Lucky for him, he enjoys beating the tar out of low-level bad guys as much as the high-end ones—and since his recent breakup with his first love (and fellow superhuman) Apollo, he’s had plenty of chances to engage in his unique brand of physical therapy.

Now, insanely dangerous weapons are beginning to pop up all over the globe, wreaking havoc on society and complicating Midnighter’s professional and personal life. As the outbreaks pile up, tracking them back to the original thief becomes an overriding imperative .

Collects issues #1-7 of the ongoing MIDNIGHTER series.

Review

“There aren't many books out there that I'd call perfect, but when you can see 10 steps ahead, it's perhaps not surprising that MIDNIGHTER earns that praise.” – Newsarama

"He’s like Batman with a sense of humor and a willingness to engage in healthy relationships...Seriously, check out this comic."—io9

"Manages to be both bold and down-to-earth at the same time."— IGN

"The sort of comic that's as smart and fun as you wish all superhero comics would be."—Comic Book Resources

Really really like this comic. The ending of this vol was so dramatic. Wish there were more than two, I’d buy them all

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I didn't know before I bought it, but Midnighter is a gay superhero. Basically, instead of sleeping with random women, he sleeps with random dudes. It's not over-the-top or in your face... he sleeps with dudes with the frequency that Nightwing sleeps with chicks so it's not even a weird thing.
That being said. It was about as confusing as the Grayson books. Which isn't bad... but I did feel "lost in the action" at times. Overall, it was a really fun book. I love midnighter's attitude, I love his "power", I think it's all VERY cool and while I sorta saw the ending coming... it still played out really well.
It would be a stretch to say it's the best comic DC has out now... but I will say it's one of the best. Definitely give it a try. I really look forward to seeing how this series continues. Will for SURE be buying volume 2

Good but an awkward fit.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Steve Orlando does an interesting job pairing a Wildstorm character clearly into new 52 world with Dick Grayson and having Midnighter adjust after his break-up with Apollo. It's an awkward fit--like both versions of the new 52 Constantine--the mainline plots seem to hem the character in but violence both do and don't quite seem to fit with the tone of the New 52. While the LGBT themes are handled well and make the new 52 richer, it's still rough around the edges in It's current setting. It's good but doesn't work as smoothly as one would hope.

Great writing and amazing art

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a fan of the original Ellis/Hitch Authortiy and someone less than enthused about DC's current output I had no idea what to expect from this, but after Midnighter showed up as a regular in the excellent Grayson series I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, because this is one of the better comics I've come across lately. If you're a fan of the original Wildstorm character you'll appreciate this take, which stays true to the original without being derivative.

As far as the comic and story itself, the best way I can describe it is it's like reading William Gibson writing superheroes. Crazy future ideas and a fair amount of grit on every page. And the art by Aco is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended.

EPIC

I'd never read any of the Midnighter comics before, but I think this was a good place to start! I really enjoyed this volume- it was some of the best comics I've ever read! The action is great, the humor is perfect, and the panels are beautiful and inspiring. It's gritty and engaging and original, with plot twists I'd never have expected. Definitely recommend. My only problem was it ended too soon. I can't wait to read more Midnighter comics!
As for the order, it was great. It arrived quickly and there weren't any problems with shipping or anything, and I thought it was a very good price. 10/10 would buy again :D

Fun stuff

This was the first part of the collected volume of Midnighter's stories from 2015. Be prepared for some hot dudes and violence as Midnighter racks up the body count. The only thing missing is more Apollo, although there are a few scenes, The big guy is only seen a couple of times in flashback which is too bad. Apollo and Midnighter are really cute together. I loved it though. Hope to see more... Although sadly I know the book has been cancelled.

Midnighter has become my new favorite super hero of the DC universe. I'm thrilled with how Midnighter has been drawn into such a bad ass, more like Batman, Punisher, and Deadpool all put together that contributes with the LGBT. And it was also cool to see Agent Grayson teamed up with Midnighter in a few issues. There's some sexuality and romance, but plenty more fighting (well more like ass-kicking than fighting). I do enjoy a extreme character who has an appetite for adventure, lust for blood, and a wild sense of humor!!

Any fan of the Warren Ellis Authority will love this take on the character. Some confusing art but overall great. The twist at the end doesn't feel totally earned but I'll wait until I finish the second volume to pass judgement on that.

Volume um de dois de uma mini série espetacular e sincera

Reviewed in Brazil on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Primeiro volume da mini série de duas edições do Midnighter escrita pela nova estrela dos comics americanos, Steve Orlando. A arte é espetacular, principalmente nas edições desenhadas por ACO. É visceral e honesta. Personagem gay escrito sem estereótipos por um roteirista gay é algo a ser apreciado.

Midnighter é uma versão, eu diria, mais sincera do Batman. Admite ser ultraviolento e sem limites, com fetiche em couro, sádico e um lutador de primeira. É um personagem fascistóide e não tem problemas com isso. Com um computador no cérebro, consegue fazer leitura corporal do oponente e determinar uma estratégia de luta para vencê-lo antes mesmo de a luta começar. Sinceramente, o próprio Batman não teria muitas chances contra o Midnighter.

Acompanho o personagem desde a sua criação em Stormwatch, na época da Wildstorm, e devo dizer que essa é minha versão favorita.

O encadernado compila as edições 1-6 de uma série que foi uma das melhores da iniciativa DC YOU e da DC Entertainment nos últimos anos.

Uma dos melhores comics da atualidade

Steve Orlando consegue trazer de volta a essência do personagem nessa série que ele havia perdido em StormWatch vol. 3. Midnighter decide aceitar como ele é, um lutador incansavél que elimina os inimigos com seu super computador instalado em sua cabeça. A arte de ACO é brilhante, e adiciona detalhes importantes na escrita de Orlando.

So they have exhumed and flogged Midnighter once again have they? Midnighter was originally the comedic muscle part of the Authority and wasn’t really designed for a solo role. There have been some notable successes (Garth Ennis & Brian K Vaughan) but as a Batman clone/ parody he is hard to get right.

Orlando seems to give it his best shot. With unusual confidence this is a seven issue series that allows the story – simple as it is – more time to breathe and to re-establish what Midnighter is all about. Which is sex and punching people.

Time is given to establish what has come before and most importantly what happened with Apollo (Midnighter’s greatest love interest). It also links up with a Grayson book, as in Dick Grayson of Batman (how ironic). The narrative loves its flashbacks and cutaways it seems to be composed more of individual scenes in a flick book that rush past you.

The art is that chaotic ramble you might see in a teen superhero book. It definitely tells you it is trying hard, and probably too hard. It does attempt to give the illusion that you are seeing Midnighter’s computer brain process a million things at once. But it’s not enough to distract from the story and can feel a little too garish.

Midnighter is Amazing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2016

Midnighter........ What can I say about Midnighter other than he is amazing.

A character who loves his job of fighting bad guys, relishing every second of it. With a computer in his brain that helps him to calculate every possible outcome of a situation and deal with it accordingly it also comes very easy to Midnighter to fight the bad guys.

The problem for Midnighter is his everyday life, he just cannot cope with a normal life. And that is what makes Midnighter special, normal heros struggle with their superhero life but Midnighter is the other way around. Midnighter stands out as being a gay superhero but for me he is just a fantastically fun character to read who just happens to be gay.
